Narrator:An emergency session of the association of Ghanj-Rho station tenants is called to order...

Massey:Your honor, members of the council... Thank you for convening on such short notice.

Fobottr Tenant:Your recent acts of aggression have become impossible to ignore. In truth, you might say that we are here because your captain threatened us with violence.

Massey:Captain?

Tagon:Hey, all I did was let my men test-fire that orbital lance.

Massey:Moving right along, then... Your honor, we are here to help you put that violence safely in the past. Pursuant to this end, we are calling a referendum to deal with these issues.

Fobottr Tenant:We'll need to consult with counsel to ascertain the legality of this action.

Sign:Attorney Drone

Massey:Your honor, are you aware of the fact that the organization I represent has been authorized by governments of human space to pursue and collect bounties on attorney drones such as the one you are getting ready to consult with?

Fobottr Tenant:What are you talking about?

Massey:I'll make it clearer. Your honor, please step away from the attorney drone, so that we can avoid getting any of it on you.

Attorney Drone 1:(thinking) Uh-oh

SFX:BLAM

Fobottr Tenant:Bailiff! Return fire! Execute this human attorney!

Massey:Now that we've gotten that out of our system, I recommend that we attempt to proceed more amicably.

Massey:Those not wearing body-armor are hereby advised to keep their arguments on-topic.
